"Young Master Rong is not a man, but a woman disguised as a man. She thought it was fun and interesting for a woman to disguise herself as a man, and she successfully hooked up with Xia Xiaolu, which made Xia Xiaolu give her heart and go to Beijing to look for her. She is not married to you."
Murong Ci's words were like throwing a huge stone into the calm green lake, causing countless splashes.
Everyone was shocked, all with incredible expressions.
Concubine Qiao sighed pitifully, "Why is it so good to kill people, even if it's a breach of trust, even if it's deceiving others, it won't kill people."
Murong Ci looked at Murong Chang, the latter's body seemed to tremble, the lifeless little face was originally pale, but now it was bluish and white, like a person who was poisoned with a bruised complexion.
Hearing this now, Shen Zhiyan has realized that His Highness has cracked all the mysteries in the past few days of secret investigation.
"Now I will tell you the third story. About three or four months ago, a poor and talented Mr. Lin Shu in Yizhou met a beautiful girl from the imperial capital by chance. This girl claimed to be Rong, and she was A merchant family in the imperial capital. Lin Shu has a younger sister. The two brothers and sisters depend on each other for life. They have a kind heart and are very friendly and harmonious with their neighbors. They teach their children." Murong Ci said calmly, "Like Zhao Qingsong in the first story, Lin Shu liked Miss Rong very much, and wrote poems and lyrics for her, and even drew her portrait. The young couple were inseparable for more than ten days, and then they parted ways, because Miss Rong claimed that her parents had arranged a marriage for her, and she had to go back to the capital to get married. to others."
"It's indeed very similar to the first story." Murong Yu's deep eyes were filled with sharp coldness, "Lin Shu was brutally murdered."
"That's right, Lin Shu's younger sister, Lin Yu, went to accompany her sister and stayed at her sister's house for a few days. When she came back, she saw her brother died at home. And Miss Rong's portraits were gone. The local magistrate couldn't find Miss Rong. Lin Yu After concluding that the murderer of my brother was Miss Rong, I brought my brother's body to Beijing to sue Miss Rong."
"How did Lin Shu die?" Concubine Qiao suddenly felt strange. Why did the prince pass her and Chang'er here? What does it have to do with their mother and son
"Lin Shu's heart was pierced by a sword, and he bled to death." Shen Zhiyan replied.
"These three stories have many similarities. The deceased was killed because of a short-lived relationship. The deceased in the second story was a woman because the murderer disguised herself as a man. The murderer in the second and third stories was all surnamed Rong. The surname of the girl in the story is unknown." Murong Yu concluded, "Does Your Highness have conclusive evidence against the murderer?"
The air pressure in the hall continued to drop, and the silence became deathly still.
Murong Chang's whole body was stiff, and his facial features, which were as delicate as jade and porcelain, were now haunted by morbid paleness, his beautiful face was as cold as death, and those dark pupils were motionless, as empty as a courtyard. She sat dumbfounded, without breathing or expression, as if her soul had flown out of her body.
Murong Ci stared at her, his thin lips parted slightly, "Actually, the surname Rong is just a pseudonym for the murderer, her real name is Murong. Imperial sister, is this Gong right?"
Concubine Qiao was so shocked, why did the prince ask Chang'er so
Shen Zhiyan sighed softly, as expected, it was her.
Murong Chang didn't respond at all, like a stone statue that has been weathered for many years.
Everyone looked at her, waiting for her response.
Concubine Qiao's complexion changed drastically, she patted her little hand, her anxious tone trembled slightly, "Shang'er, you are talking."
"Imperial sister, I really don't want it to be you. You have been away from the palace for so long, and you have gone to Jinzhou, Yizhou and other places to appreciate the customs and beautiful scenery of various places. You have an ingenious mind, but you are very playful, and you like to hunt for novelties , for the pleasure of teasing and deceiving people, cheated from the capital to Yizhou. Watching those men and women being played around by you, falling into the lies and love you made up, willing to dedicate everything for you, even for you If you want to die or live, you find it very enjoyable, scolding them for being stupid and complacent at the same time. When you are bored, you can find a suitable target to attack, and satisfy your absurd psychology of playing in the world and twisting and terrifying." Murong Ci stared at her sharply. Such as Dao, Dao Dao Ling Chi, "When they are stalking you, when you don't think it's fun anymore, or when you think they deserve to die, you will kill them ruthlessly to avoid future troubles."
"It's not His Royal Highness Shang'er, there must be a mistake somewhere, Shang'er is not such a person." Concubine Qiao anxiously argued, shaking her daughter's shoulders, and said anxiously, "Shang'er, you are talking."
Murong Chang's dead eyes finally turned, and he smiled slightly, like a hundred flowers blooming, dancing gracefully, "Brother Prince, the three stories you told are very touching and sympathetic, and the dead are also sympathetic, but the three The murderer of the story is not my sister."
She looked at Murong Yu, and said solemnly: "My lord, although I have been out of the palace for so long, I am not a murderer, nor have I lied to anyone."
Shen Zhiyan said in a calm voice, "Princess, Your Highness has already obtained the evidence."
If Your Highness does not have enough evidence
According to the data, no accusation will be made without authorization.
Murong Chang's eyes were red, tears were lingering on his eyelashes, he was wronged and innocent, his charming and delicate appearance made people feel pity, "Brother Prince, my father doesn't have many children under his knees, and my sister will serve my father with you after entering the palace." , to be filial piety to the father and emperor. Is the brother-sister friendship for so many years fake? If you haven’t done it yet, please ask the prince to find out the truth and return my innocence.”
This self-defense is playing the emotional card, and I hope that the prince's brother Nian will not pursue it any longer because of the years of brother-sister friendship and his father's face.
If it had been the past, Murong Ci would have been deceived by her pitiful appearance, and he would have believed her as soon as his heart softened, and let her get away with it again.
This time, Murong Ci will not be merciful.
"Prince sister, ever since you set up a trap to seduce Gong Junhao and made him a crippled body when he was in love, I know that your heart is very different from your appearance. You are cruel and ruthless, and you will do anything to achieve your goal." The price. If this hadn't happened, I might still hesitate, maybe you are not a master of deceit, not a murderous murderer. However, this is the fact, I have to believe it."
"His Royal Highness, Chang'er was raised by the palace, and she is definitely not that kind of person." Concubine Qiao explained sadly, "My lord, you have to find out."
"Since the elder brother of the prince believes that the younger sister is the murderer, then show evidence." Murong Chang raised his eyebrows coldly, and said, "Let's talk about the third murder first, what evidence does the elder brother have?"
"Indeed, you handled the third murder case very well without leaving any evidence. You and your close maid took away the portrait that Lin Shu drew for you." Murong Ci sneered, "The three murder cases are of the same origin. There are quite similarities, the cheater and the murderer are the same person."
"Then let's talk about the second murder case. Didn't the prince brother say that the deceased Xia Xiaolu was raped by a man? Chenmei and Yuanxiu are both women, how do you rape the deceased?"
"His Royal Highness, the princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, with a noble status, how could she do those things that are shameless?" Yuan Xiu said righteously and sternly.
"I had a lot of headaches about this. But one day, I was wandering in the street and saw a craftsman weaving bamboo baskets. The craftsman weaved a lot of bamboo baskets, put them on the ground for sale, and put them aside. A bamboo tube. The bamboo tube is very delicate and ingeniously designed. It is hollow and can be filled with water, and then the water can be pushed out with a slight push." Murong Ci took the bamboo tube from Qin Ruo's hand and held it high. "As long as there is such a thing, a flawless girl can be disguised as a victim of being raped by a man. Royal sister, you are using such a bamboo tube to deceive the world."
Concubine Qiao didn't dare to look at the bamboo tube, as if it was an ominous thing, her face was a bit embarrassed.
Shen Zhiyan took the bamboo tube, looked at it, and handed it to Murong Yu.
Murong Yu looked at the bamboo tube, Shen Lang said: "As long as you put a man's blood in it, and then use this thing to assault a woman, you can deceive the world."
Murong Chang's beautiful eyes narrowed gloomyly, and he said mockingly: "Brother Prince, is it too childish for you to find a bamboo tube on the street and want to frame my sister? You can catch anyone on the Internet.”
Murong Ci raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, "Sister, because of Gong Junhao's incident, you were unhappy. That day, I took you out of the palace to relax on the street, and happened to meet Xia Xiaolu. When she saw you, she thought you were Mr. Rong's sister." It's just that she didn't expect you to be Mr. Rong pretending to be a man. You know that Xia Xiaolu came to Beijing to find you, and sooner or later there would be trouble, so you cruelly killed their master and servant. Maybe it was fate, if Xia Xiaolu's master and servant were not here If they meet you on the street, maybe they won't die. You sent Yuan Xiu to ask Xia Xiaolu to meet at the small temple in the west of the city, but you didn't do it immediately, but waited until midnight when the night was quiet. Yuan Xiu waited for a long time near the small temple , then sneaked into the small temple, and then came out of the small temple, but accidentally left a red wishful knot on the small temple."
She took out a red wishful knot, and said: "Yuanxiu, you made this yourself. You not only made one, but also gave it to the maids of Jinghong Palace. Li Xin is one of them."
Yuan Xiu argued: "There are many small stalls selling this red wishful knot on the street, and slaves don't know how to weave it."
Qin Ruo went forward to search her body and found an identical wishful knot, and handed it to Murong Yu for review.
Qin Ruo was nervous, looking at the princess, at a loss.
Murong Yu looked at the two red wishful knots and said, "It's exactly the same."
"Li Xin also has a wishful knot, and she is also suspected of murder, why doesn't His Highness suspect her?" She retorted unwillingly.
"Li Xin doesn't have the strength to restrain a chicken, how can he have such a good skill like you?" Murong Ci was full of disappointment, "The imperial sister must have never imagined that Yuan Xiu was seen by a beggar when he killed someone. Xiu's portrait was identified to the beggar, and the beggar immediately recognized Yuan Xiu as the murderer."
"" Yuan Xiu's brows showed a ray of horror, and he looked at the master in a panic.
